  1. Can you trust your co-workers??

    Scrubby replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I trust most people at my work to do the right thing by the patient and other staff. However there is one senior nurse at my work who myself and others just really can't be trusted and has to be...

  2. How to handle something with a certain CNA

    Scrubby replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    She doesn't sound like a bad person and as you say she is a hard worker so I wouldn't recommend running to management because you might alienate her. My advice is next time she does it just say in a...

  3. I want to be a nurse but is nursing really that horrible??

    Scrubby replied to kgheen09's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone handles their frustrations differently from you. Your way is not everyone else's way of dealing with frustration. I vent about problems and then attempt come up with some sort of solution....

  4. I am GETTING out of hospital work! This is BULL!

    Scrubby replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to you in finding another area where they treat nurses

  5. This is not my job?!?

    Scrubby replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    Umm there are thankfully a few people here who have bothered reading the entire thread, but many who haven't. Jeepgirl is obviously one of them: "Its unacceptable that you let it sit there for 4.5...

  6. This is not my job?!?

    Scrubby replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    If I was your nursing instructor I would tell you to read the entire thread first. To the OP for the benefit of us all please answer these three questions. 1. How much poo was left on the floor for...

  7. This is not my job?!?

    Scrubby replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    ATTENTION....ATTENTION....THE POO WAS CLEANED UP BY THE OP. THEY DID NOT LEAVE A HUGE PILE OF FAECES ON THE FLOOR SHE JUST WANTED THE USE OF A MOP. Please read this thread. I'm getting a bit tired of...

  8. Reporting other nurses

    Scrubby replied to wanderlust99's topic in General Nursing

    I too think that petty little things should be discussed with each other instead of running to the NM straight away. How can you trust the people your working with and feel comfortable at work when...

  9. What are you thankful for?

    Scrubby replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thankful most of my patients are asleep and that I don't have to deal with annoying relatives. I don't really care if this seems like a bad attitude, i'm sick of dealing with needy people. I can...

  10. New grads on the Floor.

    Scrubby replied to LVN2010M's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is though part of being an RN is about being an educator. It's in our competency standards and unless we are supportive and willing to share our knowledge then we're really just contributing...

  11. Nurse manhandled by doctor

    Scrubby replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Yep thats the lesson I've learned here, if anyone a patient or a doctor grabs at me/slaps my wrist I DON'T CARE, I will be involving the police straight away. I won't even consult with management or...

  12. Dealing with Rude Nursing Instuctor

    Scrubby replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    Some people cannot handle criticism from anyone. Nursing is ridiculously heirachial and a lot of instructors that I've had would take it as an affront that a mere nursing student would even dare point...

  13. Best experience as a nurse/worst experience

    Scrubby replied to hemlok2's topic in General Nursing

    Worse-When I was scrubbed for a case and a suture needle was left in the patient. I notified the surgeon that the count was incorrect and he and the other surgeons blamed me for losing the needle on...

  14. Shift-work

    Scrubby replied to sam20007's topic in General Nursing

    My own opinion is that there are some nurses who don't mind working all shifts and it doesn't seem to affect them, and there are others (like myself) who aren't suited to it. I suffered from a...

  15. Archetypes in Nursing

    Scrubby replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm this is fun, I love the Grinch we have one of those who is always trying to sell Avon and Tupperware. how about: The Naughty Nurse-the sex goddess, always chatting up the good looking doctors,...

  16. Questioning Doctor's Order

    Scrubby replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    It's not easy questioning doctors orders especially when your new to nursing. I almost overloaded a patient with digoxin. The doctor had crossed out the morning dose from the chart which the patient...

  17. Dealing with Rude Nursing Instuctor

    Scrubby replied to summersent's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard being a student because your at the mercy of the instructors. It goes against everything I believe in but keep your head down, get through your clinicals and just wait till their over and...

  18. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Scrubby replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What I'd love to say to annoying patients and their relatives: "Go stand in the naughty corner and have a good think about your

  19. confused as to what to do

    Scrubby replied to momtojosh's topic in General Nursing

    What really annoys me is that the people like yourself who are willing to do a little bit extra get taken advantage of and used up. I see it happen all the time at my work, those that say yes to extra...

  20. confused as to what to do

    Scrubby replied to momtojosh's topic in General Nursing

    Just say no. You took the job part time and they shouldn't expect any more from you. I would also put caller ID on the

  21. Nurse manhandled by doctor

    Scrubby replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    Update: Well the nurse has sustained some sort of injury because her wrist is still sore after a month. She is claiming workcover but the bad news is management are giving her a hard time. I'm not...

  22. san diego california

    Scrubby replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    hey the op clearly has some issues they need to work through, but the way most of you have responded to the OP on the previous thread and on this one is quite frankly childish and a bit embarrasing....

  23. How does call work at your hospital?

    Scrubby replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    At my hospital we don't have to do on call unless we volunteer to do so. This is pretty rare, most other hospitals you have to do on call once a month. We have dedicated trauma staff who work on a 7...

  24. Smelly co-worker

    Scrubby replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I did a student placement in a nursing home and one of the careworkers she stunk so bad I'm not exaggerating but you actually knew she was heading your way because the smell would get there before she...

  25. I did something that now makes me think I was acting like a druggie/doper/thief...

    Scrubby replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Yep you didn't overreact, if someone did this to me I'd be a bit shocked and probably do the same thing. I am not a touchy feely person, I hate giving hugs to anyone who isn't a family member or close...
